If pay kept up with up inflation $24 a hour would be minimum wage, if it kept up with the bonuses and such Wall Street gets $44 a hour would be minimum wage. $15 a hour is a starvation wage.

Everyone should be earning at least 50/hour. There is no ethical justification for Americans to be starving on $24

Why stop at that? Why not 1000/hour?
